I did them both at the same time, mine first which has issues.
I took mine back to bare metal and the majority of the other.
They were both washed in soapy water, rinsed, left to dry and then I wiped them over with acetone.
I then primed, sprayed and glossed mine and then did the other one...

Thanks all, this is Pontiac Blue. To me, I would describe it as baby blue. The cream colour on the cart is bugging me so I might have to see if I can use the engine enamel paint to match or find a matching blue for plastics……

I have cleaned, wire brushed the flaking finish and sanded all over the lids so I could paint with high temp engine enamel. I have done a Q200 for a work colleague and the Q220 for me. The lids did have a bit of pitting, but they look 100 times better than what they did!
